Chapter 213 The Relics of a Suicide
The corner of Jiang Ci's mouth twitched slightly. No wonder this group of students came to the library in large numbers to play the Conjuring game. It turned out that they all came for the Elite Medal.
"If even your landlord can't handle it, what can you students do?"
Zhou Wu insisted on his point of view, "Anyway, as long as we find the remains of the suicide, we can summon the soul!"
"Xiaoci, aren't you here for the Elite Medal as well?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said perfunctorily, "It doesn't matter whether I get a medal or not, I just think it's fun."
"Fun?" Zhou Wu shuddered. "If it weren't for the Elite Medal, I wouldn't have followed them here. It's not fun here at all, it's pitch black..."
Jiang Ci sighed softly: "Yes, if there was a regret pill, you definitely wouldn't come."
Zhou Wu grinned, "That's not necessarily true. As long as there's a chance to get the Elite Medal, I'll definitely come again no matter how scared I am."
Jiang Ci just looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
Zhou Wu felt creepy when she looked at him.
"Xiaoci, let's not waste time. It's already eleven o'clock. Let's find the diary quickly."
Zhou Wu shook her phone to show her the time.
Jiang Ci glanced at her cell phone, whose screen had long gone black and was shattered into pieces, and nodded.
The two continued to search.
Zhou Wu was afraid of being locked in the closet again, so she suggested that Jiang Ci go rummage through the closet while she continued to rummage through the bookshelf.
Jiang Ci agreed.
She started from the first cabinet at the entrance and continued searching until she reached the second to last cabinet.
As soon as the cabinet door opened, a long-rotten corpse came into view.
The corpse's skin had faded and emitted a rotten stench. Its limbs were twisted and deformed, forced to bend into a strange posture, and curled up in a narrow cabinet. The corpse's eyes were wide open, as if it had seen an extremely horrifying scene before death, and its hand was still tightly holding a broken mobile phone.
The facial features of the corpse were still recognizable; it was Zhou Wu.
"How can we not find it? This is the last data room. Why don't we go to the previous ones and look again?" Zhou Wu's voice came from behind the bookshelf.
Jiang Ci closed the cabinet door without changing his expression and walked to the last row.
I opened the cabinet door and saw a yellowed diary lying there quietly, out of place with the other books.
"No need, this should be it." She picked up the diary.
Zhou Wu ran over excitedly, took the diary and opened the first page. When she saw the name of the owner of the diary, she smiled, "Yes, it's this diary!"
"Xiaoci, let's go upstairs and meet up with the others. Maybe Xiaoman is upstairs too!"
She excitedly pulled Jiang Ci and ran out.
Jiang Ci felt her fingers were cold, a temperature that was definitely not something a living person could have.
Since Zhou Wu is already dead, she should be able to tell at a glance whether the person in front of her is a human or a ghost.
But the strange thing was that when she saw Zhou Wu for the first time, she didn't realize that she was actually a ghost.
It's as if time and space are intertwined and overlapped.
Jiang Ci pressed the intercom to remind Bo Hanzhou: "Some students may no longer be alive."
All that could be heard from the other side was the crackling sound of electricity.
She frowned slightly. It seemed that the magnetic field was beginning to interfere with the signal.
The two went up the stairs.
When we arrived at the second floor of the east branch, we found it even quieter and more deserted than the first floor.
Zhou Wu called Xiaoman's name softly.
No one responded.
"Do you think Xiaoman has already gone to the rooftop to gather?" Zhou Wu muttered unhappily, "How could she leave me alone and go to the rooftop..."
Jiang Ci: "Let's find the five floors of the east branch first."
Zhou Wu nodded and carefully put the diary in her arms, as if she was afraid of losing it.
The two of them went from the second floor to the fifth floor. The east branch was empty, but they could see messy footprints on the dusty ground.
The footprints went down the stairs and seemed to go to other branches.
Zhou Wu looked eagerly at the stairs leading to the rooftop, as if he didn't want to look for Xiaoman anymore.
"How about we go to the rooftop first? Maybe they are already waiting for us?" She suggested going up to take a look.
Jiang Ci thought about it and agreed, and took a look at the rooftop to see how many teams had found the relics.
The two came to the rooftop, but there was no one on the huge rooftop.
Bo Hanzhou's voice suddenly came from the intercom: "Jiang Jiang, I followed Master Jun to find two students in the West Branch. They are all safe...zizizi..."
Jiang Ci turned his back to Zhou Wu and whispered, "Turn down your voice a little. Listen carefully, not all students are alive!"
Bo Hanzhou on the other end was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "I understand, how are you doing?"
"I found one." She paused and asked, "What relic did the two students find?"
"Water cup."
"I also got the diary. They want to collect all the remains of the nine suicide victims and then go to the rooftop to perform a soul-calling ceremony. You find a way to get the remains and keep the students under control. We will meet in the main hall on the first floor then."
"Jiang Jiang, aren't you going to the rooftop?"
"With not enough people, it might be dangerous for the students to stay on the rooftop. Otherwise, you can find a data room, knock them out and lock them up."
"good."
Zhou Wu suddenly came over and said, "Xiaoci, what are you talking to yourself about?"
Jiang Ci looked at her steadily, "Zhou Wu, what did you see?"
"Ah? I didn't see anything." Zhou Wu looked confused, "No one else has come to the rooftop yet."
Jiang Ci was worried that revealing the truth that she was dead would scare her away, so he changed the subject and asked her the time.
Zhou Wu picked up the phone and took a look. "11:10."
Jiang Ci frowned.
She and Zhou Wu searched the three floors of the east branch, and at least two or three hours had passed.
But for Zhou Wu, only a dozen minutes had passed.
And…she had nothing in her hands, except in her eyes she was still holding a cell phone.
Jiang Ci suggested: "Others are still looking for something, let's go down and help them."
"The library is so big, can we find them?" Zhou Wu was worried.
"As long as we know which area and floor the suicide victim died in, that's enough." Jiang Ci called her, "Let's go, do you want to stay here alone? It's very eerie!"
There was no moonlight on the rooftop, only dead silence and darkness.
Zhou Wu is a quiet girl and is indeed afraid when she is alone. After thinking about it, she decided to follow her.
Jiang Ci was just about to go downstairs when suddenly a cold wind blew, and it seemed as if something was swaying in the darkness.
She remained calm and left the rooftop while talking to Zhou Wu.
From the conversation, we learned that three people died in the South Branch, on the second, third and fourth floors respectively.
The corresponding belongings of the suicide victims are: Walkman, pen and watch.
Zhou Wuji didn’t remember all the names of the students from the three teams and only mentioned three people.
Lao Luo, Lei Zi and Ma Dapao.
When Zhou Wu mentioned Ma Dapao, her face turned a little grim. "Xiao Man and I were originally assigned to the South Branch to look for the Walkman, but it was this Ma Dapao who messed up the draw, so I had to redraw and was assigned to the East Branch."
